SHORTCUT METHOD OF SOLUTION OF GEODESIC EQUATIONS FOR SCHWARZSCHILD BLACK HOLE

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

It is shown how the use of the Kerr-Schild coordinate system can greatly simplify the formulation of the geodesic equation of the Schwarzschild solution. An application of this formulation to the numerical computation of the aspect of a non-rotating black hole is presented. The generalization to the case of the Kerr solution is presented too.
